Any fool can copy and paste. You need a brain to use the information properly.
This is false by your own rubric, since it is normal for ALL human societies to wage war, and it is almost universal to have capital punishment.
In other words it is "normal" to kill humans and you have lost your own argument.

Evidence shows the complete opposite

There you ga again. Insulting others who don't agree with you like any other megalomaniac.

There is obviously a reduction in wars since WWW II.

WWWWWWwerere.
The world has been in continual war since WW2.
Not that it is relevant.
Until the next big one.

There is also a reduction in capital punishment around the world.

• The following is a summary of the use of capital punishment by country. Globally, of the 195 independent states that are UN members or have UN observer status, 106 countries have completely abolished it de jure for all crimes,
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_p ... by_country

But also irrlevant

Note again, you are ignorant of the above point and other relevant knowledge.

Try not to be a c+nt.
You are completely ignorant of my knowledge. So please restrict yourself to things you think you know about.

What is critical is the reducing trend and more countries will abolish capital punishments.

But also irrlevant

The above reducing trend in terms of wars, capital punishments, evil and violence is driven by the unfoldment of the inherent moral potential within humanity. i.e. the inherent moral fact that 'no human ought to kill humans'.

Things are going the other way in the USA. Where same sex marriage has gone backwards. There are also many other place in the world that are much worse off.
But SO WHAT?
None of this is relevant.
Whichever way it goes it points to a simple fact that morality is fluid. u.e. subjective.
The very change you point of supports my point.

  In his 2011 book,
  The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined,
  Steven Pinker argued with relevant data and posited violence has declined significantly at Present since from the past years.

In general, at present there is a trend where there is reduction of evil and violence since human first emerged, see,
